The Mao Naga is a major Naga tribe in Manipur, India. They bear an important place in the history of migration and dispersion of the Nagas. Makhel being the first settlement area of the Nagas and the Chütebu-Kajü, the place of dispersal of the Nagas are located in the Mao territory, the Mao Naga can be considered as the pioneer settler among the Nagas. Till today, the Maos continue to play an important role in the politics of the Naga for their strategic location and as a permanent member of the Tenyimi Peoples’ Organization (TPO).
